Have you ever wanted to use your phone but your hands were full of groceries, books, or anything else, so you couldn’t? This would always happen to me whenever I walked down the street from my house to CVS or the dollar store, and walked back carrying whatever I’d bought. Well, one new invention by Piaggio Fast Forward solves this problem.

Created in early 2017, the Gita robot is a essentially a personal suitcase that moves and follows you on its own. It’s shaped like a sideways cylinder, with two tires and a hollow inside where you can store things. The Gita can carry up to 45 pounds of luggage, and can fit laptops, backpacks, or anything else you might want it to carry. Worried about security? The door to Gita’s compartment has a fingerprint lock, so you can keep your things safely inside.

Perhaps the best part of the Gita is that there’s no need to tell it where to go – it follows you. After you put on a small belt (which will probably be scaled down into something smaller like a wristband), the Gita can sense your location and will roll behind you, always maintaining a distance of several feet. It can roll as fast as 22 miles per hour, so you can even ride a bike and Gita can keep up. It has cameras in all directions, to help it avoid obstacles, and its two wheels mean it has a zero turning radius, so it can spin in place if need be to help make its way to you.

There are tons of applications for Gita. For starters, Gita can help people carry groceries while shopping or walking home. If an elderly person is unable to carry something, Gita can do that for them, while leaving their hands free, if they need to use a cane or walker. Although that’s the most talked about use, Gita can also be useful for so much more. What if you’re in your office and need to move a huge stack of papers somewhere else? It can be pre-programmed with a building map so you don’t even have to walk it. What if you want to ride your bike to work but don’t want to put your stuff on your back? You might want to bring snacks and water with you on a run but don’t want to carry them. You could even make your young child the coolest baby on the block by introducing him to the convertible experience with a ride in Gita (although this is probably a bad idea).

Gita is currently still in beta, as Piaggio Fast Forward wants to perfect its driving and processing skills before fully releasing it, but it should launch soon. Another factor that Gita introduces is the possibility that we may soon be sharing the sidewalks with robots. Hopefully this cute BB-8-like robot will be able to help ease people into a new robot-filled future without causing too much fear.
